***DUzy Awards for week ending September 21, 2007.*** |
Advertisements [?]
![]() Welcome to the DUzy Awards, honoring vigorous vivisection, vivacious vim and valiant venting from this week on DU. Congratulations to this week's winners!The hand-rolled DUzies will be announced every Friday, if I get around to it. Previous awards can be found in my journal. Note to Mods: Skinner has authorized the DUzy Awards to be posted in GD. On a thread by NanceGreggs: You Can Shut Up Now response #25 by calimary: "...but, but, but, they'll FOLLOW us HOME!!! Yeah. Actually, they will. They'll follow us home and take all our parking spaces, and push out all the Vietnamese restaurant owners to make space for their Iraquisine. They'll crowd our freeways, compete for our jobs, and maybe beat us in a bidding war for that house that just foreclosed. Or maybe they'll invade West Hollywood with their new hair salon chains. Move over Supercuts! here come the "Baghdad Bobs." You heard it here first! OP by Redstone: Excuse me for about 20 minutes; I have to go confess to Homeland Security that I have a stuffy nose and need to buy a box of pseudoephedrine tablets, so I don't snore Mrs R out of the bed tonight. I have to remember to bring my driver's license to to the drugstore so they can scan it into the Big Database of People With Stuffy Noses... you know what a threat THEY are to the security of our beloved Vaterland...oops, Homeland. response #2 by Fridays Child: Snotbomber... ...you're being watched. :evilfrown: :P response #7 by Patsy Stone: While you're at it you should stop into the library. I'm sure there's a database there they'd enjoy adding you to. response #17 by Redstone: Been there, earlier today. I'm sure that Vaterland Security already knows that I took out one book about England, one about the Gold Rush, and a cookbook featuring Italian food. Now all they have to do is to connect the dots, and I'm toast. I may as well go turn myself in. response #47 by warren pease: You are, in fact, toast... Books about England are now on the watch list because Brits refuse to privatize their health care system, despite 17 straight years of noble conservative attempts to convince them to dump that monolithic socialist mess and go with the US model instead. See Canada, France, Germany and Scandinavian countries for further information. The gold rush was a well-known magnet for foreign undesirables who infested California and tried to steal precious metals right out from under good, hard-working native Americans -- native being Northern Europeans in this case. This invasion is seen as the inspiration for all the illegals now overrunning this great land of ours and stealing precious sidewalk space from good, hard-working Americans who are on the streets because illegals have taken up all the beds at the shelters. And finally, Sacco and Vanzetti were Italians, as were the Red Brigades and Titian. What else could you possibly want to know about Italy and its relationship to the international terrorist/anarchist/oil-painting conspiracy? Frankly, the evidence is overwhelming. You're an enemy of the US health care system, which is completely at odds with official doctrine; you're studying issues related to illegal immigration, which isn't necessarily too bad, but when combined with your desire to cook the kinds of dishes known to have been eaten by terrorist organizations and artists, in complete disregard for the approved meal of a Big Mac with fries and a shake favored by mainstream Americans... All this puts you in a very bad light. Nothing that a few years of political reeducation at Gitmo won't fix, but I'm afraid you're off to the camps for the time being. Be well, praise JeeeeZuzzzz and revere Overlord Cheney as if your life depended on it. response #22 by sfexpat2000: Whatever you do, don't were a pink shirt or carry a Mexican flag! :scared: response #37 by flvegan: Oh, shit sir...you shoulda PM'd me. I've got a stockpile of the real thing. Thermodrene, Black Asians, Yellows, Ripped Fuel... On a thread by Mark E. Smith: Alan Keyes Announces For President response #1 by northzax: Excellent It's just not a campaign season without krazy keyes. Wonder what state he is pretending to be from this year? response #3 by chimpsrsmarter: Woohoo, ain't no crazy like Alan Keyes crazy cause Alan Keyes crazy don't stop. response #18 by Yupster: He's in because he has experience at facing off against Obama A return race could get him up to 30 % if everything falls into place just right. response #40 by Jim Lane: I hope his running mate will be Katherine Harris -- the dream ticket (n/t) response #43 by Starbucks Anarchist: He will be defeated by the margin of error. On a thread by texanwitch: I was watching How Clean Is Your House today and learned that computer keyboards are very dirty. response #11 by canetoad: keyboards are filthy microbe nests also, a spill in the wrong area can seriously curtail your internet activities: eg. a cannabis seed under the space bar. To this end, I developed a sort of Martha Stewart guide to keyboard cleanliness; Always keep on hand a bamboo skewer for picking out big lumps, such as congealed sweet chili sauce, baked beans etc A pure bristle watercolour brush for gently sweeping powder spills Cotton buds for alcohol And every so often upturn it, shake from side to side (much like a laser toner cartridge)then tap firmly 6 - 8 times on desk. This will generally yield enough schwag for a smallish joint. On a thread by BlooInBloo: Montana GOPer: Dead Soldier Is Too Stupid To Have Written NYT Op-Ed! "Pardon my skepticism, and certainly no disrespect for the dead Montana soldier, but in my time in the Army I never heard such a word as 'recalcitrant' escape the lips of any Staff Sergeant..." response #1 by Xipe Totec: Whoever's edumacatin' the plebes, quit it! Cain't have no soldiers messin' up their haids with them big words and such. response #11 by NewJeffCT: Compassionate Conservatism at its finest! wow, every time I don't think they can top themselves, they do. response #14 by BlooInBloo: Vegas doesn't even put odds out on that any more. OP by uppityperson: Today's public service message for trolls. Pick a username that doesn't look suspicious. Variations of "IMaLibrul" "democraticundergroundtroll" "hsub evol I" all are instant tip offs that you probably won't get many posts in. Sincerely, uppityperson p.s. This is not aimed toward any troll in particular, just a general public service message response #17 by SalmonChantedEvening: Damn. I was gonna re-register as Clint^Tonzfallt. sonofa. :yoiks: On a thread by Joanne98: Ann Coulter! STOCK PICKER!!!!!!!!!!!!! response #1 by dicksteele: You misspelled "pig-stalker". nm response #28 by BenDavid: I would not have sex with her even with a borrowed penis On a thread by Disturbed: " I have seen tyranny, dishonesty, corruption and depravity." "Over the past two and a half years, I have seen tyranny, dishonesty, corruption and depravity of types I never thought possible." Alberto Gonzales. response #1 by rpannier: I have seen tyranny, dishonesty, corruption and depravity And that was what he did before his morning coffee response #3 by rucky: He was patting himself on the back when he said it. n/t response #4 by Bluebear: But enough about Washington Republicans. response #16 by msu2ba: and, then he sang....... "These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things" On a thread by Dirty Hippie: As a Woman I was NOT offended by Bill Maher last night. response #34 by Luminous Animal: I'm pretty confident in stating that Bill Maher would have no problem with young women who have fabulous breasts walking around topless in public. His problem is with women's breasts being exposed for any other purpose than for his titillation. Bill Maher is a boob. response #42 by ellenfl: a lecherous, misogynist boob . . . is that an oxymoron? that does not stop me from watching him, however . . . which i have been doing since his 'politically incorrect' days. no, i do not always agree but he's had some great shows . . . most of them . . . and his 'new rules' are usually very good. i have never had kids but i can tell you that i would have covered, in some form, if i had to breast feed away from the privacy of my home. this all sounds like a tempest in a b-cup to me. response #46 by AzDar: As the mom of two boys, I udderly agree. :rofl: OP by hang a left: They are going off on ABC over domestic spying!!! Unfortunately, it is all over Belichek and his Patriots. OUTRAGE all over the NFL. Blows. My. Mind. response #1 by spirit of wine: It is not called the Patriot Act for Nothing. On a thread by The Sushi Bandit: Is DU Getting Dull?? or have I become too jaded? response #1 by Skittles: it is possible you need an ass-kicking I will assess response #20 by spag68: I'll give you something to get upset about What if the cia bastards put a chip in KO's head, while he is sedated? response #21 by cboy4: LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!!!!! :grr: response #22 by walldude: Yeah... but it's all my fault. response #38 by djohnson: I've noticed a lull in Republican sex scandals It's been, what, a little over 3 weeks since the last one? Maybe that's it. GD, September 16, 2007: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x1822956 On a thread by Retired AF Dem: OJ arrested response #1 by bluestateguy: Maybe the police have decided to help him find the real killer The police never did go back to investigating the case after the trial.

The mysterious individual who framed Simpson for murder has framed him again I see! Diabolical! On a thread by G_j: McCain Says He's Been Baptist for Years "Republican presidential candidate John McCain, who has long identified himself as an Episcopalian, said this weekend that he is a Baptist and has been for years. Campaigning in this conservative, predominantly Baptist state, McCain called himself a Baptist when speaking to reporters Sunday and noted that he and his family have been members of the North Phoenix Baptist Church in his home state of Arizona for more than 15 years... In a June interview with McClatchy Newspapers, the senator said his wife and two of their children have been baptized in the Arizona Baptist church, but he had not. 'I didn't find it necessary to do so for my spiritual needs,'' he said..." response #6 by MonkeyFunk: A Bapto-Episcal? isn't that a stomach medicine? response #7 by King Coal: Well, he did refuse to make love while standing up, so nobody would think he was dancing. response #8 by nuxvomica: Can someone be an unbaptized Baptist? And if he wants to call himself a Baptist, what's so difficult about having the baptism and getting it over with? Is he afraid of drowning? I guess I don't understand Protestantism. On a thread by rzemanfl: I have to go to work. I cannot believe that CNN is swiftboating Sally Field... response #4 by MonkeyFunk: They're making up lies about Sally Field's military service? The bastards! On a thread by Squatch: If men can walk around in public bare-chested, should women, too? response #23 by Juniperx: Ever watch "cops"? Bare chested guys are just asking to be arrested ;) response #43 by bemildred: But then nobody will be able to make money off of pictures of tits. Hollywood starlets will have to be able to act. This could mean doom for the entertainment business. Where would David Hasselhof be today if tits were no big deal? You have to think about the consequences of this sort of radical change. response #50 by cherokeeprogressive: I go back and forth on the subject. Can't make a firm decision.

On a thread by helderheid: Jack Hanna, flamingo trapped in airport turnstile "Animal expert Jack Hanna and an 11-month-old flamingo became trapped while trying to squeeze through an airport security turnstile. It took firefighters to finally get the flamingo out. Hanna, the director emeritus of the Columbus Zoo and a frequent guest on nationally televised talk shows, was returning from a zoo fundraiser with a mongoose, a small leopard and the flamingo..." response #6 by northzax: so, a leopard, mongoose and flamingo walk into an airport... oh man, this stuff writes itself!

Or maybe not... n/t GD, September 18, 2007: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x1833453 OP by cali: Prayer To Saint Andrew of Disruptus the patron saint of obnoxious disruptors and hecklers. Prayer to Saint Andrew: Oh blessed Saint Andrew, hear my prayer. Help me in my fervent quest to be as big an asshole as I can be. Aid me each day in rolling over the rights of others, as I strive to disrupt and heckle, and assist me always in getting away with it. May I ever be seen as the victim by those I'm trying to bamboozle, and may I never get called on my crap no matter how egregious. Protect me, Saint Andrew. from having the crap beaten out of me, no matter how disruptive and disorderly my conduct. Amen. Say this prayer 53x daily for seven days, publish it on the 8th day, in the classifieds, spam everyone on your address list with the prayer, and it shall be answered. Disclaimer: NO I DON"T THINK HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN TASERED. On a poll by NightWatcher: Taser Poll: who's to blame :bluebox: the student :bluebox: the cops :bluebox: Kerry response #3 by NoPasaran: No choice for Clinton? response #11 by H2O Man: Mick Jagger is fully responsible for the Hell's Angels killing the guy at Altomont. It's Mick's fault. If he had just sung "The Sound of Music," it never would have happened. response #22 by aikoaiko: I blame Tesla and his freaking inventions involving electricity. response #34 by Bornaginhooligan: The woman in the third row, sixth in from the left. She bears 100% of the responsibility. She should have gotten the cops to stop. Also, she used her hypnotic witch powers to force the student to purposefully attempt to disrupt the event and get the cops to forcibly arrest him. response #37 by sleipnir: Kerry: If he hadn't conceded the election so soon, none of this would have happened. That's the answer.

Vicente Fox, the former president of Mexico, derided his political friend as a 'windshield cowboy' – a cowboy who prefers to drive – and 'the cockiest guy I have ever met in my life'..." response #5 by Journeyman: Ever since "the incident," Mr Bush has shied away from the ponies. . . It happened his first year as Governor. Concerned about the impression his non-riding would have with Texas voters, his Staff decided it'd be best if they staged a photo-op on a horse. They picked out the steed they thought best for the novice rider, and two of his aides helped him into the saddle. No sooner was he seated, though, when the horse bolted, took off with no warning whatsoever. Mr Bush clung bravely to the reins, and tried to wrap his legs tight around the haunches, but the speed of the horse, coupled with the wild motion of its galloping, threw Mr Bush from the saddle. To the horror of all the witnesses, Mr Bush's foot became ensnared in the stirrup, and though he crashed hard to the ground, he was trapped and drug helplessly behind the charging steed. Some of the younger aides rushed after him to help, but it was hopeless -- the galloping beast rushed ahead, and Mr Bush bounced wildly behind, his arms flailing helplessly, his head and shoulders repeatedly smashed on the hard ground beneath the thundering hooves. It seemed, for a moment, that all was lost and Mr Bush would be pounded to death before his horrified Staff. Shouts of anguish and despair arose from them all and the end seemed inevitable, but fortunately, all the hubbub alerted the WalMart manager, who stepped outside and pulled the plug. And so, you can understand, ever since "the incident" Mr Bush has shied away from the ponies. . . response #35 by DrDan: give the guy a break he falls off bikes. he falls off segways. he apparently falls off the couch if attempting to munch a pretzel. He knows his limitations . . . . and there are quite a few. On a thread by YeOldeBostonEarl: Does anyone think a DU writer deserves a Nobel Prize in literature? response #5 by Bornaginhooligan: Alright, I don't know who leaked that I was Pablo Neruda. But I specifically requested anonymity, dammit! response #6 by The Straight Story: A few people in the lounge :) response #12 by NanceGreggs: I thought I had a real shot at it ... ... with my book, "It Takes a Village". But then the Clintons broke into my house and stole the manuscript ... response #20 by EstimatedProphet: My "I'm starting an ask me anything thread, ask me anything" thread was Nobel quality But, no, I couldn't accept. response #25 by Whisp: if Putzer prizes were handed out I'd have a few nominations. ;) On a thread by hisownpetard: I got a nasty, irrelevant comment over at GD from someone who has no profile listed. response #7 by EstimatedProphet: In GD, that's called a "reply" On a thread by babylonsister: The indignity! Abe Lincoln flies coach! "Madame Tussauds flew its wax statue of Abraham Lincoln to D.C. on a Delta Shuttle flight on Thursday.
